My apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered. I would appreciate instructions if there is a way to search the archive.
Also, to the developers thank you for this software. I am building a development environment on a laptop. OS: openSUSE LEAP 42.3 openvswitch version: 2.7.0-7.1 The wlan0 interface is configured through wicked for ease of configuration while developing while mobile or even while off the network. I followed these instructions to try and configure openvswitch correctly: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Wicked/OpenvSwitch I have also read the current openvswitch documents and those are well written. Again, thank you. His is what I have done (shortened for brevity): ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr0 ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 port0 -- set Interface port$0 type=internal ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 port1-- set Interface port$1 type=internal ifcfg* files are: kvm:/etc/sysconfig/network # more ifcfg-ovsbr0 STARTMODE=auto BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.254 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 LINK_REQUIRED=no OVS_BRIDGE=yes OVS_BRIDGE_PORT_DEVICE=port0 kvm:/etc/sysconfig/network # more ifcfg-port0 STARTMODE=auto BOOTPROTO=none kvm:/etc/sysconfig/network # more ifcfg-port1 STARTMODE=auto BOOTPROTO=none Run ifup all and start my KVM VM guest assigned to port1 and everything works. Reboot and the openvswitch database is empty (e.g. ovs-vsctl show displays nothing) I assumed that I had a timing conflict between wicked and openvswitch. Scripting the openvswitch build in bash and re-doing my configuration is not a big deal, but I did investigate farther. These were my steps: systemctl disable openvswitch.service systemctl stop openvswitch.service (this also stops ovs- vswitchd.service ovsdb-server.service) systemctl start openvswitch.service ovs-vsctl show (everything is there) systemctl stop openvswitch.service (hoping to not lose my database) reboot Once the system is restarted I: systemctl start openvswitch.service (this also starts ovs- vswitchd.service ovsdb-server.service) ovs-vsctl show (the database is empty) Luckily I backed up the database so: systemctl stop openvswitch.service cd /etc/openvswitch mv conf.db.backup conf.db systemctl start openvswitch.service ovs-vsctl show (everything is there) ifup all (I'm back in business) Any idea why the database ends up empty or is there a configuration I have missed? Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and if there are none that is OK as well. I am happy scripting the rebuild steps. Sorry for the long post. It just seemed easier to cover all of the details thoroughly than do a back and forth on the list flooding people's INBOX. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
